KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Security officials here said the U.S. government has given them detailed information about an anthrax-tainted letter believed to have been sent to a Microsoft Corp. unit in the U.S. from Malaysia.

The letter was initially sent by a Microsoft office in Reno, Nev., to Malaysia and then returned to the original sender, apparently having been opened and resealed en route.
